Film Making

Creative Course · 6 months

You'll learn · 01/06

01Try it

Same footage, different film.

Colour decides how a scene feels. Pick a grade and watch the same shot change its mood.

Straight from the camera: flat and low in contrast, with all the detail kept for grading.

02 // Story shape

Every film has a shape.The edit draws it.

Tension rises and falls through a film, and the editor controls it with the length of each shot, the sound and the colour. Pick a beat to see what the edit does there. The shot counts are illustrative.
